COLBERT COUNTY, Alabama -- Ashley Greenhill, who admitted to abuse of a corpse and hindering prosecution in the 2011 murder of Amanda Taylor, was denied parole Wednesday, reports The Times' news partner, WHNT News 19.

Greenhill was eligible for parole 3 months into her 10-year sentence. Taylor's family made a plea in front of the Alabama Board of Pardons & Paroles in Montgomery. Colbert County District Attorney Bryce Graham told WHNT the family explained to the board that releasing one of the people responsible for dismembering Taylor would not bring justice to the family.

"I'm not surprised that her parole was denied," Graham told WHNT. "However, I think the reason it did come up so soon is that Ms. Greenhill and all the co-defendants have been in jail ever since the arrest happened."

He told the news station she got credit for time served.

The board considered dozens of letters and emails, and came to a decision after 15 minutes. Taylor's father, Billy Leeth, said no one spoke on Greenhill's behalf, WHNT reports.

Ronald Weems was convicted of Taylor's murder and dismemberment and sentenced to life in prison. Two other co-defendants, Laurel Pruett and Matthew Fox, also pleaded guilty to abuse of a corpse and hindering prosecution. Fox is up for parole in September, WHNT reports.
